  • Or two weeks ago: "The next update, Homey 0.10.0, expected next week"  
  • The ones in the mesh I have paired beyond homey`s reach via the nod otherwise they would be not stable.  The one I am trying to connect directly to homey I have paired from various distances. But the best is when I place it close to homey to make s…
  • The problem that it does not connect directly to homey beyond ~4.5m distance. No updates, nothing.
  • The RGBW is in the opposite direction than the single sensor what I want to connect to Homey directly. That is why it cant connect to that mesh. You made a good point there that the battery powered connection is more reliable beyond the nod than dir…
  • How many times I said there is no obstruction and nodes can`t be installed, not there. And... there you go again. Please stop trolling! Seriously.
  • Fire69 said: ZperX said: @Fire69 It is a brick house, in the english countryside. No concrete, internally everything is plasterboard, the floor/ceiling is wooden beams with MDF on top, plasterboard at the bottom. No microwave. Wireles…
  • Also found this: Z-Wave Plus extended features include: Significant increased range - up to 150m (clear air) So than why do I get these rather rude comments when questioning if 4-5 meters range is adequate for ZW+? 
  • Are you trolling?
  • Seems like can`t repeat enough there is no mesh. Not at that side of the house at least (I have on the other side). And can`t have node because there is no power cable there. And again: no obstruction just thin air. A 10m direct view range should be…
  • Back to the topic: why ZW+ has smaller range than normal ZW when it should have wider range? Non mesh connection to emphasize it before I get an other undeserved slap.
  • MarcoF said: @ZperX  Are you familiar with Slack and did you do some research on how Z-Wave mesh networks work? Thank you for your kind comment. I don`t know why this comment. I can`t have mesh there or outdoor.
  • @Emile Thank you for your response. I am sure the many things are limited by the standard chip. Does this test includes the pure non powered configurations? I am getting 4-4.5 meters range without obstruction. Not sure if that would pass the test. T…
  • Is there any progress on this? Or Athom will leave this as it is? At the moment it seems like.
  • kludon said: Question: Is Slack still used to communicate about Homey. And if so how can I join the Slack group 1st: https://developers.athom.com/slack/ To login use this (or your gadget): https://athomcommunity.slack.com
  • @olive   There are many things what looks like homey or vice versa: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/862/cheap-homey-clones-for-sale
  • Yes, this is a function I need as well. It is so bad the app is not on github. Would you like to add this as suggestion on Github?
  • Because if they write an android app than they can use the services provided by the android ecosystem, eg.: google speech recognition. At the end of the day the point is that English speech recognition does not works as it is advertised ("Talk to y…
  • How do you know it is the same engine?
  • Fire69 said: Maybe your relatives' English is too 'flat' The technology should serve us not us serving the technology. Yes I am very familiar with the speech input page. I was thinking to make a video and post it on youtube to show ho…
  • Recognition is a problem. I don`t know how is dutch but English is terrible. My pronunciation is poor but and when I speak slowly and emphasising word I have 1:3 success rate. When my native speaking (UK) relatives or friends try it they have no cha…
  • Great idea. Thank you for developing it. Definitely a very helpful thing. I won`t use it just concerned about the security. SIP app would the best solution. More generic so it can use more providers, secure and homey could make a phone calls too. I…
  • They had it in mind (top right corner):
  • Thanks caseda, appreciated. You already had a `good` range before as you have mains supplied devices as well. I am interested of the experiences of those who had such a bad range as me (barely 4 meters in straight sight). As far as I know all mains…
  • Did 0.9.1 delivered any improvement for those without mains powered z-wave devices?
  • I love their motto: "Believe in the power of brands". Almost like saying don`t buy our products but buy Fibaro.   
  • The same item has many sellers. Sometimes if you go back to the same page it switches to an other seller. Some seller does not ship internationally. Select the item Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.
  • That is a crazy good price!!! Even the terrible GBP/EUR exchange rate and international shipping. Thanks a lot.
  • This topic goes in detail regarding this issue: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1547/trouble-getting-ir-buttons-to-be-recognised/p1
  • I had the exact same problem but with an earlier firmware version (I think it was the 0.8.34). It just suddenly stopped working a week after the firmware update. In my case the app was the problem. After an app update by athom and painfully resettin…

  • I am getting similar range with LightwaveRF: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/24565/#Comment_24565 It can be the device and/or the app.
